• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if the answer is silent protest profile pics. I think a better solution is more people getting into self hosting and ditching big tech reliance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. I do think your goals are noble, so I hope you can find what you’re looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you’ll be able to find a project that doesn’t contain some code (like dependencies) hosted on GitHub.

  I understand not wanting to use GitHub yourself, but not wanting to use a self-hosted software that is distributed through GitHub is kind of extreme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said, you can use dynamic DNS, but you also might have an IPv6 address that doesn’t change. Or maybe it does, you’ll have to check with your ISP. But that one can be set up as an AAAA record in your DNS.

  Most ISPs support IPv6, but some don’t, so you might not be accessible to everyone without also having an A record.

  True American heroes. 🫡

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t know why anyone cares about the Switch 1 prices. They make no sense where they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  0% chance that guy didn’t shart on that chair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, the deck can go up in price, but it would have to go up a lot to even reach the Switch’s current price. The Switch was already way more than I’d be willing to pay to get locked into Nintendo’s ecosystem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no. I’ll have to continue to use my Steam Deck even harder now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My sister never wanted kids until she was about 35. So, it can happen.

  But vasectomies are often reversible, so if you really want it, I don’t think you should let that idea stop you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but let’s say you don’t allow Facebook to track your location. Well, as soon as you upload a photo with location exif data, they know it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does trump know he cheats at golf?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t think the cheating pedophile, who cheats and lies about everything, constantly, knows that he cheats and lies?

  Yes, he knows he cheats. Also, he’s on the Epstein list. He knows that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was the only thing I was really good at, and I enjoyed doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of theses games should i play?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Minecraft is substantially farther along in terms of gameplay, mechanics, details, etc. than Luanti. You will probably have more fun playing Minecraft.

  That being said, Luanti is free and also pretty fun.

  So my advice is if you only want to play one, play Minecraft. But if you want to, play both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! So you put in the displayname prop even if it’s not set by the client. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what that prop is supposed to be in the spec. It calls it a live prop, but doesn’t give an explanation or an equivalent HTTP header.

  I love how you named the error for 400 statuses, “Pebkac”! xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you point me to the WebDAV code? I’m interested to see your implementation. There are some parts of the spec that are ambiguous, and I like to see how those are implemented in different servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get not liking a game about SA and incest, but how about just not play that game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because that would need more than like four tons of sand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, you beat me to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not even the worst thing about him. He also invented JavaScript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use OpenVPN. It’s pretty easy. You set it up with docker, download the client.ovpn file, then turn off port 80 (only needed for downloading that file). Now you can take that file and use it all of your devices to connect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please fix this site - Pay so the site gets fixed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who paid to fix ~anyt~hing on that site_?_

  I sleep better when I’m next to my wife.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more egregious to me that if you properly implement the Office OpenXML [sic] formats, it won’t work with MS Office, because they don’t follow their own specs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That fully depends on the animal. Humans are animals, and suckling a human breast is socially acceptable. Maybe not while they’re lactating, but I’m not one to judge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s when you accidentally milk a bull.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ATT SMTP port 25 unblocking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did this about four years ago. You have to be really specific, because to them, it doesn’t look blocked (it’s not a total block, just outbound traffic, which I guess is a different system). Took a few hours on the phone with them, but we got it working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If ChatGPT said it was added five years ago, that means it was added anywhere between 13.8 billions years ago and never.

  I don’t yet, but I can make a user. Let me do that tomorrow, and I’ll reply here again with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesseract is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wrote Svelte Material UI, so I could definitely help you with UI stuff. Do you have a public repo?
